Zimbabwe Cricket managing director Ozias Bvute said he could not understand why the likes of South Africa and England had frozen ties with his organisation while Zimbabweans continued to compete at international level in other leading sports.
Cricket South Africa's action last week in cutting bilateral links with its neighbour, after Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai pulled out of a presidential election in order to prevent his supporters being subject to fresh attacks by Robert Mugabe's regime, set off a chain of cricket events.

David Morgan, the president-elect of the International Cricket Council (ICC), said he was pleased by the decision to call off Zimbabwe's tour of England next year.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), with the full backing of the British Government, called off the tour Wednesday in protest at the policies of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain said on Tuesday that Zimbabwe's planned cricket tour of England next year would be "unwelcome" given the situation in the country.
The government also said it had "serious concerns" about Zimbabwe participating in the T20 WC in England in 2009.

Zimbabwe's cricket status is set to be discussed at next week's meeting of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in Dubai after Cricket South Africa (CSA) suspended ties with its African neighbour on Monday.
CSA acted in light of the growing political turmoil in Zimbabwe, where the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party has pulled out of the presidential election.
